    <p>On the iPad, I present a view in the "detail" side of a split view controller that is basically just a <code>UIWebView</code>, which loads an HTML file in the application bundle. The application supports rotation and hides/shows the "master" side of the split as appropriate.</p> <p>When the <code>UIWebView</code> is initially loaded in landscape mode, its content seems to be "sized" properly... the content is taller than the screen, so you can scroll vertically, but not horizontally. (The HTML content is nearly all text styled with CSS, with only a small ~300x50 image at the bottom.)</p> <p>If you then rotate the screen to portrait, the HTML content still seems to be sized okay -- vertical scrollbar is present, but not horizontal, as it was initially. Rotating back to landscape and everything is still peachy.</p> <p>So far, so good.</p> <p>Now, if the <code>UIWebView</code> initially loads in portrait orientation, everything is also "sized" properly (vertical scrollbar, no horizontal). But, if you rotate it to landscape, the content suddenly gets a horizontal scrollbar, because one of the paragraphs of text is wider than the width of the UIWebView. (Not coincidentally, I'm sure, but that long paragraph is sized perfectly for the slightly larger width the <code>UIWebView</code> has when it's oriented as portrait.)</p> <p>I was expecting/assuming that rotation of the iPad would cause the <code>UIWebView</code> to have its frame be resized, and when it's resized, to also resize its HTML content appropriately. (Think of taking a Web browser window and shrinking it.) Why isn't that happening for me?</p> <p>I would like to avoid using the "Scales Pages to Fit" property because the text shrinks non-deterministically.</p>

    1. COCame across this exact same issue the other day, it only happens when the app is launched initially in the landscape orientation and then rotated into portrait mode, if launched in portrait mode it re-sizes properly when rotated into landscape view. In my case it's a show-stopper because my content is a map (CloudMade) with no scroll bars shown and a good chunk of the map ends up being off-screen and the center of the map when it is panned to a new Lat/Lng is obviously off-center. Hope there is some workaround!

    2. CO@EagleOfToledo Is your content view also a `UIWebView`?

    3. COYes, but in my case the UIWebView is taking up the whole screen (no SplitView/DetailView).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
